The association between diabetes mellitus and tuberculosis and their synergistic role in the cause of human disease has been recognized for centuries. Ancient works by Yugimahamuni, an Indian siddhar, describe the symptoms of patients with "meganikal" (urinary disorders), who have gone from obesity to impotence, thirst and glycosuria, and ultimately to unconsciousness or tuberculosis. The introduction of insulin in the 1920s, the discovery of streptomycin in the 1940s, and the subsequent development of other antibiotics significantly reduced the fatality rates for people with diabetes mellitus or tuberculosis. Improved sanitation, better nutrition and overcrowding have led to a significantly reduced incidence of tuberculosis. Over the past few decades, tuberculosis has become an increasing problem in low-income countries, especially those with HIV epidemics, and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) has become a health problem. chronically increasing worldwide, due to the increase in obesity. , changes in eating habits and physical activity and the aging of populations. The effect of diabetes on the development and severity of tuberculosis, and the complex interrelationships between nutrition, obesity, diabetes and tuberculosis remain provocative problems in public health and clinical medicine. In the context of the growing overlap of populations at risk for the two diseases, the combination of tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus poses a global health threat.
